Beach Reads 2023 Novels & Stories

As soon as Beatrice and Lucas saw the perplexed look on their faces, they knew that Patience’s announcement was going to have to take a backseat for a while. The waves pounded the beach, white surf sucking and slurping upon silky pebbles and jagged shale. The sky looked like steel and the gulls overhead wheeled in the air before diving to the surface of the incoming tide, some coming away with a wriggling, glittering fish, others not so lucky.

It was a hot day in June and Mavis and I were lying on the beach. It's around afternoon and the temperature is peaking at around 32 degrees. Hot but not hot enough to make the thousands of people at the beach seek the cold shadows. The water is calm and warm, so most of the kids and some of their parents played around in the shallow parts next to the beach. Some of the more confident and able teenagers go swimming deeper into the sea. Some of the people sunbathing were covered with sand. It's almost impossible to find a spot for a towel. A lot of the people on the beach are elderly, mostly from other countries. But younger families and teenagers are the ones who I pay attention to. Especiall

Tamara- Unexpected Intruder. # data-p-id=cc4f44409bc5408c647f60fffa1f7107,A:N} This next scene happened few days prior to the recent prank incident. data-p-id=7a68e32a0860a7ddf1848852a2c21d0b, It's a wonderful day at the beach. I’m alone with no one to disturb my peaceful afternoon and my thoughts because not many people visit the beach on a Tuesday afternoon to enjoy the warm weather and welcome the rhythmic movement of the water.

I guess being privileged does have its own upsides. Katherine is on her phone, and she asks us, “Hey my uncle said he can send some people down here and set up a barbecue grill on the beach. So do you guys want to play a round of beach volleyball before the feast to burn some calories?” Beach volleyball was our to-go game back in Miami. So I jump on board immediately, “Sure! Count me in.” The rest of the guys nod in agreement as well. “Well then, two groups…same as yesterday?” James asks.

But as he knows that he cannot talk to anyone because of Alpha Akin's ruthless authority which spreads far and wide, he saves his tears and his story along with the rest, somewhere in his heart, for another day. I am on an unfamiliar beach beside a market. The beach is filled with a lot of people: babies, adults, grandparents, groups of families, groups of friends, some single people throwing pebbles into the sea, and just a lot of activity. Exactly like the beach would look during the festive seasons.

But I needed to think, and I thought that stripping down might help me get at what was going on in my head. The beach wasn’t too crowded, and I found a big empty spot, between a pair of bears and a twink, laid out my towel, and pulled off my clothes. I folded them to make a pillow and then lay down on my stomach, the warmth of the sand rising up through the thin layer of terrycloth. The sky was a clear, cloudless blue, the temperature hovering in the low seventies, pretty common for late March. Easter was still a few weeks away, so I figured most of those on the beach were either snowbirds, tourists, or night workers like bartenders and security guards. A few seagulls circled at the water’s

What if Bonus Chapter 20: What If They Met at a Beach at Sunset? Dante POV The beach was almost empty as the sun dipped toward the horizon, painting the sky in deep oranges and pinks. I’d come here after a long week of training camp to clear my head, barefoot in the sand, letting the waves wash over my ankles. At six-three, I stood out against the open shoreline, but tonight I wanted the quiet.

The white sands shone like crystal, and the ocean sparkled under the brightness of the sun. There were few people at the beach, and they were all adults. The age of the youngest person could be estimated to be twenty. Some of them wore conservative clothing, but most of them wore beachwear. Some couples splashed about by the shore, laughing and screaming when a wave approached. "Welcome to Santa Torres Beach, Babe." Theo wrapped his arm around my waist, while his other hand held our bags. "Beautiful, huh?" "Oh, you have no idea," I whispered, still entranced by the scenery.

the bellhop replied, "but if you really want to be topless or whatever on the beach, you can go to Spot Bay on the northeast corner of the island, after the end of road. There's a really nice beach there, Long Beach, and everyone knows that it's a nude beach at the far end where the bluffs begin, but nobody bothers about it because nobody causes any trouble. Now, there are gangs of local young men that hang out there hoping to meet a tourist who might be looking for a bit of excitement, so if you go there, don't be surprised if you're approached." "Thanks," Zach said, handing him a $100 bill. "Hey, thanks!" the bellhop said, his dark face lighting up. "And another thing, sort of a thing that

He didn’t even ask what was going on — just took in the scene: Rick holding me, Jaxon smirking like he’d seen a scandal, me caught awkwardly between them. “You guys wanna go out?” Jace’s voice was casual, almost lazy, but there was something unreadable behind it. The three of us blinked at him. “Uh… go out?” Jaxon asked. “Yeah.” His gaze flicked between us, settling on me for a beat longer than necessary. “There’s a beach twenty minutes from here. Could use the air. You in?” Rick grinned instantly. “Hell yeah. Sun, sand, and beer—” “And Ingrid,” Jaxon cut in, waggling his brows at me, “finally out of her castle tower.”
